After the billionth mentioning of the Tiger Woods scandal (Tiger spends holidays with mistress!) I got curious about his astrological chart and pulled it up. Sun in Capricorn. Well, we need go no further. I always, always tell all of my Capricorn friends that I'm really sorry but they are never, ever going to get away with any moral or ethical lapse. Not over the long run. And that the more egregious their sins the bigger the cosmic payment will be. Prior to this the example I always used was Nixon. Now we've got Tiger.
But what motivated Tiger's moral and ethical lapses in the first place? Many people wave their hands and say that, of course, with his childhood and extraordinary success he's become convinced that he's entitled to everything. With extra helpings. It's a theory, but not one I believe in strongly. Everything we go through in this life is a test of character. All of the good things, all of the bad things. So every time we come up against a particular circumstance we have a set of predispositions (natal chart) that give us options for free will decisions. We have strengths, weaknesses, places of insight, and places of blindness. One man's billion dollars of toy money is another man's solemn responsibility for stewardship. It's not what you have, it's what you do with it.
One thing that jumps out at me is the placement of Gemini, the Twins, on the Midheaven. If I were doing a reading for someone I didn't know and saw that I would ask if they've always found people who didn't know them very well (i.e., saw them at a distance) tended to see them differently - perhaps even in a variety of ways! It hints that we should have known that there was more going on than what could be seen at a distance. The glib, clever Twins are the stage magicians of the astrological wheel, the best at having you see what they want you to see. However, although that talent sets the stage for subterfuge it doesn't explain the actual ethical lapse. You could have just used it to keep your lovely family life private.
What about you? What do you see in his chart?
